( 6) developed biological preparations using the common American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, for teaching undergraduate neurophysiology. Linder and Palka ( 4) discuss an inexpensive apparatus for recording action potentials in cockroaches. Other authors have used earthworms ( 3) and crustaceans ( 2) to teach principles of neuronal excitability and synaptic communication in the student laboratory. Although invertebrates have a smaller number of identifiable neurons, the neurons can remain viable for long periods ( 2). Neuroscience programs often require expensive equipment and institutional research clearance for protocols when vertebrate organisms are used. ( 1) note that underrepresented students learn better when a “high-quality” active component of a class is used. One component of a course involving the study of how sensory information is encoded by the firing rate of action potentials (rate coding) led to the development of a project where cockroaches (mostly Blaptica dubia) were used to conduct low-cost neurophysiological experiments.
Despite limited resources, we have created courses to introduce students to neuroscience and in particular neurophysiology, which is typically inaccessible at institutions like NNMC because of cost.
